IMPROVEMENT IN CHURNS.

Specification forming part of Letters Patent No. 211,756, dated January 28, 1879; application filed November 29, 1878.

To all whom it may concern.-

Be it known that I, JOHN MoANEsPEY, of the city and county of Philadelphia and State of Pennsylvania, have invented a new and useful Improvement in Ghurns, of which the following is a specification:

Figure l is a vertical longitudinal section of my improved churn. Fig. 2 is a cross-section of the same, taken through the broken line w m, Fig. 1.

Similar letters of reference indicate corresponding parts.

-The object of this invention is to furnish an improved churn which will be firmly supported in position, and which will bring the butter very quickly.

A represents the body of the churn, which is made in the form of a barrel or cylinder, and has a large opening in its upper side closed by a cover, B.

The ends of the cover B and the ends of the opening in which it is placed are beveled in opposite directions, and the said cover is secured in place by a button, 0, pivoted to the top of the churn-body A.

To the lower side of the churn-body A, at each end, are permanently attached two supports, D, which rest upon the floor and support the said churn-body with its opening upward.

E are the end boards of the dasher, which are made in rectangular form with their alternate or rear angles beveled off.

To the end parts of the end-boards E along the bevel of the said ends, are attached the ends of six bars, F, three to each end, each succeeding bar being set a little farther inward than its preceding bar, as shown in Fig. 1.

The bars F are strengthened in position by the cross or tie bars G, which are placed between them at the inner sides of the endboards E, as shown in Figs. 1 and 2.

To one of the end-boards E is attached a pivot, H, which works in a notch in a bearing, I, attached to the end of the churn-body, where it is secured in place by a key, J, inserted between its end and the end of the churn-body A, and which is made with a shoulder, which rests upon the upper side of the.

said pivot.

The key J is locked in place by a button, 0, pivoted to the end of the churn-body A, in such a position as to be turned down against the upper end of the said key, as shown in Figs. 1 and 2. In the other end-board E is formed a square hole to receive the squared end of the pivot K.

To the side of the end-board E is attached a bar, L, having a square notch in one edge to serve as a guide in placing the end of the dasher upon the pivot K. The pivot K passes out through a striding-box in the end of the churn-body A, and has a nut, M, screwed upon it at the outer side of the said end. The outer end of the pivot K is squared 0E to receive the crank N, by means of which the dasher is rotated.

Having thus described my invention, I claim as new and desire to secure by Letters Patent- A rotary churn-dasher consisting of the endboards E, having the alternate ends beveled, the six bars F, attached in sets of three to each of said beveled ends, and the cross-bars G, arranged between the bars F, as shown and described.
